Van Nuys medical imaging company alleges its constitutional rights were violated by officers who mistargeted the business for an illegal pot operation.
A Los Angeles police officer’s unsecured rifle was sucked into a MRI machine during a botched October 2023 raid at a Van Nuys medical imaging business that was mistaken for an illegal pot operation, according to a federal lawsuit.
NoHo Diagnostic is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for the alleged violation of its constitutional rights. However, Franco failed to consider that NoHo’s high electricity usage, which he attributed to cannabis cultivation, was likely caused by the operation of the MRI machine and other medical equipment, or that tinted windows were installed for patient privacy, the suit states.
When the officer entered the room, the powerful magnets in the MRI machine attracted the loose rifle and secured it to the device.
